1 Randomized study of the effect of pentoxifylline or octreotide on serum levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6 after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Octreotide tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of pentoxifylline and octreotide administration on serum levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6, in patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), whether they developed pancreatitis or not. Octreotide tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
3 TNF-alpha levels at the 24 h were lower than baseline in patients with pancreatitis who received octreotide (P = 0.04). Octreotide tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
4 Pentoxifylline and octreotide cannot prevent IL-6 elevation but octreotide reduces TNF-alpha levels, which may have an impact on the severity of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Octreotide tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
